Celebrity Christmas engagements 2010

Hugh Hefner was the first to announce his surprise Christmas engagement to girlfriend and Playboy model Crystal Harris. Fellow celebrities are also here with more happy engagement news and sparkling diamond rings to show!

Black Swan star Natalie Portman is engaged to ballet choreographer boyfriend Benjamin Millepied who trained her for the movie. Along with the engagement news Natalie, 29, has also revealed she and fiance are expecting their first child in spring 2011.

I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience,” pregnant Natalie Portman said in her statement.

British singer Lily Allen also got engaged on Christmas this year. Boyfriend Sam Cooper popped the question in Bali and Allen said yes.

The couple started dating in summer 2009. Earlier this year Allen announced her pregnancy. They lost their child last month when Lily Allen was six months pregnant.

It has been a terrible time for Lily and Sam, but they are totally in love with one another,” a friend of the couple said. “It all came out of the blue – but Lily was overwhelmed and they are both overjoyed. They can look to the future now. Lily was telling everyone that she and Sam had just got engaged – they could not keep the smiles off their faces. It couldn’t have been more romantic.”

And finally, after lots of false reports, country singer LeAnn Rimes is engaged to Eddie Cibrian. For real this time. Eddie proposed and (unsurprisingly) LeAnn accepted.

Yes, they were engaged over the holidays and are very happy,” LeAnn Rimes’ rep told People. “They had family and close friends in town who helped them celebrate.”

Cibrian proposed with an antique ring having a five-carat oval diamond in a rose gold fleur-de-lis setting.

LeAnn and Eddie started dating even before they both go officially divorced. Rimes finalized her divorce from husband of seven years in June this year, while Cibrian got divorced two months later.

And finally, a ring on Britney Spears‘ ring finger. Brit hasn’t yet responded to the engagement reports. Stay tuned to be the first to know if the rumor is true.

Congrats, Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied, Lily Allen & Sam Cooper, and LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian!
